I Don't See Me As You Do

I've never looked at myself

With the eyes of my loved one

You see I'm not a great beauty

My light people would always shun

I'm not what you call beautiful

I do try to give all that I can give

Even though I'm not as graceful as a swan

But it's for his love that I do live

I have tried to see myself differently

But it's always the bad things I remember

Somehow being beautiful just doesn't matter

Of this human race, I'm not a very good member

I'm not perfect, nor do I claim to be

I will try to be the very best friend

But don't try to force me to see as you do

Because somehow I know I can't in the end
